Season Record: 62-20

Coach: Tom Thibodeau

Key Players and NBA 2K12 Ratings: Derrick Rose (92), Carlos Boozer (80), Luol Deng (80)

Another "what-if" team. Led by the youngest MVP in league history, it seemed that the Bulls have finally arrived and a rivalry between the Heat would become the stuff of legends for years to come. Obviously that didn't happen as Derrick Rose's injury put his development and the Bulls' post-season success to a brutal stop.

Still under contract, Rose didn't see much playing time and prevented the team from signing a top-tier free agent that would lead the team during his absence. The Bulls were still competitive, but nowhere near as good as in the 2010-11 season.

While Rose, Boozer and Deng were a promising offensive trio, what made this team stand out was its defense. Granted, that doesn't always translate into fun when playing NBA 2K, but imagine your opponent's frustration when Noah blocks another shot, and Rose brings the ball down the court and dunks it in his face. That sounds like fun to me.
